About Us


The Neenah Joint School District is proudly positioned in the heart of the Fox Valley. Serving over 6,700 students, Neenah continues to be a frontrunner in many areas including academics, athletics and the arts. The District is committed to a focus on educational excellence for its students, professional staff and entire community.

In 2020, the District passed a $114.9 million referendum for facilities and security improvements across the District. A new state-of-the-art high school will break ground on the west side of the District in the spring of 2021 and open for the 2023-24 school year. The current high school will be divided into a middle school for grades 7-8 and an intermediate school for grades 5-6. Elementary schools will host grades K-4. The referendum also provided funding for safety and Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades at every District school.

Our District remains, above all, committed to learning, growing and finding better ways to provide the finest foundational life experience for our District’s children. Neenah is a very special place to be!
